Proposal OutlineProposal Outline

Restoration of the Historic Leigh Street Armory

Construction of the New Office Building

Armory RestorationArmory Restoration Provide bracing to maintain historic façade Replace structural masonry system with a steel

moment frame load resisting system Install an open web steel joists floor system to support

the concrete floor slab Restore all masonry walls as non-structural elements Replace all doors and windows Install new steel roof truss system to maintain original

building aesthetics while improving structural integrity Comply with Current Code Requirements

Armory HistoryArmory History

Built in 1895

Served as headquarters for the First Battalion Virginia Volunteers Infantry, Richmond’s first African American regiment

Used as a social center, housing facility, recreation hall, elementary school, junior and high school

ConclusionConclusion

Efficiency– Our structure uses an intelligent moment frame

design coupled with a smart open webbed joist floor system.

Economical– This will minimize material cost, saving money.

The quick erection time shall reduce capital cost. Elegance

– Our Armory will maintain the authenticity of its historic fortress like appearance, and the New Building shall complement the aesthetic mastery of the Armory.
